057 A crash course in Stoicism
It’s time for a change in direction. Today marks the first episode in our Philosophical Deep Dives, where I pick a certain school of thought and explore what it’s about, where it came from, and how it’s relevant today.
This week, as I mention it in almost every episode, you’re getting Stoicism. I talk about the core tenets of the philosophy (wisdom, courage, virtue, and temperance), take a look at the lives of those who influenced it back in Greece and Rome, and then see what Modern Stoicism has to offer us.
As always there are some practical tools that you can take away and apply to your day to day existence. So slap on your togas and get comfortable, because this episode is a long one.
Much love,
David
